The next time had an opportunity
OF feeling for it, it vas back in thu

youth Tor all his cunning. evidently
thinking he had put the glove into the
wrong pockets himself. Then haz
arded a holder step AGAIN taking
possession OF the glove, | dropped II
in a corner OF the rawing-room.
That evening Albert came back
from the office in u pertubed state OF
mind. watched him on his knees in
the hall looking for something, and
when he saw me he pretended to
be unlacing his shoes. lie wandered
from room to room, and was subse'
quently heard finging things about

word about his loss, however, to any
one. Next morning | was surprised
to see him bright and cheerful. went
into the drawing-room, and, be-

no, he evidently thought that he had

gazing on it in secret.
But the awakening came when ]

Albert did not find the glove among

Ancestral Pride.

Ancestral pride may be nothing but
a low vanity. The man who, being
himself ignoble, boasts OF his fathers
nobility, makes that his pride which
should be his humiliation. On the
other hand, respect for our ancestors
elevates the character, when it begets
the feeling that nobility obliges us to
be noble. A spanish beggar seeks to
compel respect, il not aims. He is OF
the blood OF CASTLE, and wears his
battered cloak as if it were the robe oil
grandee, while with a deferential
bow he says: "For the love OF God,
vlgnor, give me penny" pardon
me, brother, have nothing but Gods
blessing for youl" answers the passer
by, as he, too, bows and departs.
A gentleman from Massachusetts,
while sojourning in Chicago, was asked
to recommend a young Bostonian,
anxious to obtain q Clerkship in that
Western city. The gentleman sought
a merchant, and highly commended
the young man concluding with:
He belongs to one OF the Oldest and
best families in Boston"
"That won't do him any good in
Chicago" answered the merchant;
there is no daddyism here!"
The eloquent Dominican friar, Fa'

reproved the pride OF ancestry.

The Dominican practiced as he
preached. Lady Clanricarde. whose
family name is Burke, approached
him one day, while surrounded by an
admiring throng, and claimed kinshir
with him.

spanish Etiquette.

The etiquette or rules to be observed in
royal palaces is necessary for keeping order
in court. In Spain it was carried to such ex-
tremes as to make martyrs of their kings.
The following incident is used by Disraeli
as an illustration:
Philip III was gravely seated by the
fireside; the flremaker of the court had
kindled so great quantity Of wood that the
monarch was nearly suffocated with heat,
and his grandeur would not suffer him to
rise from the chair; the domestics could not
presume to enter the apartment because it
was against etiquette At length the Mar.
quis de Potat appeared, and the king ordered
him to damp the fire; but he excused him
self, alleging that he was forbidden by the
etiquette to perform such function, fol
which the Duke d'Usseda ought to be called
upon, as it was his business The duke wa!
gone out; the fire burned fiercer; and tht
king endured it rather than derogate from
his dignity But his blood was heated t,
such degree that erysipelas of the head ap
peared the next day, which, succeeded by
violent fever, carried him off in 1921, in th'
twenty fourth year Of his reign,

The wonders of Ant Land.

Ants are the athletes of the insect world,
easily carrying ten times their own weight.
The ediflces they rear by conjoint labor, says
Golden Days, render thepyramids ridiculous,
for the common wood ant will build struc-
lures as large as a hay cock, all of mere frag-
ments. II others are content with smaller
domiciles, it is because their needs are suf-
feed; but all alike dwell amid their under
ground galleries and halls with the order and
activity of busy and well governed city
No nonsense is talked in ant land about every
body being as good and great as everybody
else. They nurse with infinite devotion the
ant babies when they appear, putting them
in the warm upper galleries by day, and at
night "tucking them up" in the snuggest
lower chambers. They bring home stores of
food to the ant city, for those are wrong who
say that the little creatures do not lay up
winter provisions.
Sometimes whole colonies move to new

Our trade with New Zealand, Australia,
